WiX offline setup contains a web installer of dotNetFx40 #4216

Open wixbot opened 10 years ago

wixbot commented 10 years ago

If I use "wix38.exe /layout" to get an offline installer the downloaded files contains "dotNetFx40_Full_setup.exe" which is a web installer of dotNetFx40. The full installer is called "dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe" and should be used instead of "dotNetFx40_Full_setup.exe"

Using the Web .NET installer is a reasonable choice since it only downloads the packages needed to install .NET for a particular machine. But it means that /layout isn't guaranteed to cover every prerequisite for a sneakernet install of WiX. Leaving open to discuss whether there's more /layout could/should do or whether we should use the full .NET redist package.

Hi,

Could you please explain how to add(steps to follow, for adding) .net framework as a prerequisite for the wix installer I create for my project, say ProjectA.

Thanks in advance.
